Identifying and Reconciling Patients' Allergy Information Within the Electronic Health Record.
Article in Studies in health technology and informatics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Allergy information is often documented in diverse sections of the electronic health record (EHR). Systematically reconciling allergy information across the EHR is critical to improve the accuracy and completeness of patients' allergy lists and ensure patient safety. In this retrospective cohort study, we examined the prevalence of incompleteness, inaccuracy, and redundancy of allergy information for patients with a clinical encounter at any Mass General Brigham facility between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. We identified 4 key places in the EHR containing reconcilable allergy information: 1) allergy modules (including free text comments and duplicate allergen entries), 2) medication laboratory tests results, 3) oral medication allergy challenge tests, and 4) medication orders that have been discontinued due to adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Within our cohort, 718,315 (45.2% of the total 1,588,979) patients had an active allergy entry; of which, 266,275 (37.1%) patient's records indicated a need for reconciliation.
